If that is the only thing that differs then it is probably a local 
problem at your or your ISP's end. You can check whether freelists 
have sent two copies or a single copy by looking at the topmost 
Received: entry of each message. It should look like:

Received: from [<IP address>] (helo=turing.freelists.org)
     by <your ISP> <...> for <your address>; <date>

If the entries are the same in both messages then your ISP has 
received a single copy from freelists. Please note that if your ISP 
does some internal forwarding there might be additional Received: 
entries in fron of the one we are interested in, but it should be easy 
to locate the topmost entry mentioning freelists as its from address.
